This book is probably the best Sangria Book on the market to date. It offers simple step by step explanations on how to carry out the delishous recipies. And, I'll let the cat out of the bag, the restaurant that I used to bartend at used this book for its reciepies. So whether or not your a pro bottle spinning drink mixer or family person who likes hosting get togethers, the recipies in this book will make people think you are a pro because the exposions of flavors will be something they've never tasted or purchased. The sangrias were so popular we began selling them by pitchers and pitchers to go. Keep in mind, many of the reciepes require that the fruits and alcohols sit for hours or even days to allow the natrual flavors and sugars to merge, this is possibly the biggest secret to making a succesful sangria or pitcher drink so plan ahead. Trust me these recipies are tastbud approved!

I really enjoy this cocktail book. The author Kim Haasarud has written three other books in the same series and they all have very tasty and creative drink recipes. The Sangria and Pitcher drinks offers perfect cocktail ideas for those summer night get-togethers with friends. The book is beautifully laid out, with gorgeous pictures accompanying the cocktails. The author provides easy to follow recipes to prepare simple syrup and fresh sour used in many of the cocktails in this book. A must have in your cocktail collection!

I heard the author talk about this book on the radio a long time ago. I finally picked up a copy. Thumbing through this book made me so thirsty I couldn't stand it. It's winter...only blueberries are in season right now. I picked up all the necessary ingredients for the blueberry pomegranate sangria and mixed it up in a plastic pitcher (I didn't have a glass or ceramic one at the time). I didn't wait for it to rest and blend like I was supposed to. Just poured myself a glass right away. Best.Sangria.Ever. My boyfriend was having a flavored vodka tasting party at the time. I waltzed in with my sangria, and it was a huge hit!

I received this book as a birthday gift a year ago, and now count it as one of my best birthday gifts ever. My husband and I enjoy picking a new recipe to try on the weekend, and then look forward to making the recipe all week. This book is extremely easy to use and fun to look at. Plus, every recipe I've tried (and I've tried quite a few) has been absolutely delicious and unique.

Now, whenever we are invited to a party or barbeque, our friends ask us to bring the sangria! And we are more than happy to oblige.

This is a great gift idea. There are sangrias that are traditional & some that are unique. Really nice pictures of the drinks. So many I want to make, I don't even know where to start. I can imagine anything I make out of this book will turn out delicious. Just the book I was looking for. Can't wait to make for parties!

Summery good fun! This is packed with wonderful recipes and colorful photos. A must have for those interested in mixology.

Bought this to give as a gift with a punch bowl set as a wedding present and it was a huge hit! Lots of good ideas and a neat alternative for people who enjoy wine as novices and want to mix it up or those who entertain! Full of hits!

I bought the set of three, 101 Margaritas, 101 Blenders Drinks AND 101 Sangrias, and have really enjoyed the new recipes and fresh ingredients. We have not tried the 101 Blender Drinks yet because we are having to much fun w/ the other two! But we have already dog eared the ones we want to try first!

This drink-mixer book has seemingly endless ways to impress your guests with a beautiful & delicious beverage. It also has great recipes to get yourself in the mood for warm summer days when "the weather outside is frightful."

I purchased the cookbook 101 Sangrias for a friends birthday, and mmmmmm..... I may need to get my own copy. A few of the recipes were a little exotic, but those are fun to try sometimes to. This will be the perfect gift for a friend who likes to work behind the bar.
